Like Goldilocks, finding a job that's just right can be a challenge. Here are six questions you need to bring to your next interview.
Essential Traits
What's the most essential trait a new team member should possess, and why?
Ask this question at any stage during the interview. A hiring manager, or better yet, your future boss, is the person to ask. Through their answer, you'll learn about the company's needs and cultural expectations. If the hiring manager, for example, tells you they're seeking a detail-oriented worker, but also someone who sees the bigger picture, you'll want to find out why. Perhaps the company is growing quickly or taking on larger accounts. They might need someone to keep tabs on current projects but also keep pace toward future goals.
